In February 2009 The Open University in the UK launched an innovative new distance learning course on international environmental policy. Entitled Earth in Crisis: Environmental Policy in an International Context the course comprises three blocks of original written, audio-visual and online materials. Block 1 focuses entirely on climate change, while Block 2 covers ten environmental issues, including population growth, urbanisation, development, fresh water, sustainable agriculture and biodiversity depletion. Block 3 explores future options, and is structured around the question ‘What can be done for the future, and what should be done?’ For further details of the course go to http://www3.open.ac.uk/courses/bin/p12.dll?C01DU311 or contact Dr David Humphreys of the Earth in Crisis course team on d.r.humphreys@open.ac.uk
